I could not care less whether they work together or not all I want is for them to stop fighting with each other.
Sadly I think I am asking for a miracle far to many axes to grind.

Seems like some other folks gave the wrong answer, too:

So, three years after the Referendum, announced by the Tory party for the sole purpose of seeing off Nigel Farage, we have actually gone backwards! Fast forward to today and we once again have a Tory party running scared of Nigel Farage, with no deal Brexit becoming the new Brexit.
I hope this time, finally, the Tories understand that they will never be able to out Farage, Farage and rather than pander to him, they confront him head on.

Farage is a Tory: economic policy (neoliberal), social policy (conservative), foreign policy (neocon), etc. He's more interested in seeing off Labour than the Conservative Party. No doubt his old-for-new party'll sweep the European elections. But if he ever got numbers into parliament, he'd ally with the Tories. Labour have put their balls on his plate in insisting on a second referendum.

I do not think either of our major parties know exactly how to respond to Westminster's Brexit problem at the moment.
In theory Farage's new party should do well and could easily upset both Labour and Tory seats.
BTW here in Dover we have plenty of choice with twelve to choose from, I have already filled in my X and will visit the postbox within the next couple of days.

That man is a pain in the rear end, he is the reason I no longer can put up with his shouting and turn off those sound when the media have interviews outside the Palace of Westminster.

This is the problem now. In lobbying for no deal, Charlie is not for one minute thinking about his constituents. Rather, he has calculated that his ERG/no deal credentials will best position him for a Ministerial post in assuming that the next leader is from the right of the Party. A no deal Brexit is no more the 'will of the people' than joining the Euro would have been in remain had won!
Brexit has unfortunately become a beauty parade for the Tory leadership campaign.

Apparently, the junction of Westminster Bridge, Parliament Street, Great George Street and so on is going to become a roundabout...

What else should we expect when the leading candidate for Tory leader and hence next PM appears to be an unapologetic believer in the mantra 'f**k business'. The vast number of candidates for the post is, with a few honorable exceptions, a collective example of the Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
Boris (piccanninny, letterbox, wall-swaffing) Johnson as PM, Raab who 'hadn't fully realised' the Britain was an island as foreign secretary. Maybe the ever truthful Esther McVey in the Home Ofiice? What could possibly go wrong?

Interesting to see that the EU is disbanding its Brexit negotiating team. More than anything, this should tell potential Tory party leaders that there is no renegotiation to be had. Moreover, Sabine Weyand, Barnier's number two, is going to be DG Trade....thus meaning she'll be leading the negotiation for the trade negotiations (assuming we ever get that far).
